I have had much use of the Ubuntu wiki docs that describe how to use cron and ntpdate to do handy things like start up and shut down the clients, but it appears that these documents are somewhat outdated in the context of Ubuntu 10.10 and newer.
Looking at the lts.conf manpage for 10.10 (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man5/lts.conf.5.html), I see handy options like SHUTDOWN_TIME and TIMESERVER. IIRC, cron is not installed in the chroot by default. Is a manual install required by the SHUTDOWN_TIME option? Does the TIMESERVER option require any further configuration (besides pointing it to a valid ntp server)? I see ntpd is running in the clients already. db ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
